Wonderful Organs - Bach's Dorian Fugue

Just a slideshow of beautiful organs.

Music: Bach - Toccata & Fugue "Dorian" in D minor, BWV 538, performed by Daniël Chorzempa, on the beautiful, historic organ at the 'Bovenkerk' church, at Kampen, The Netherlands. This was a mid 80s recording.

God Bless, everyone!

@ereko25 si, lo veo. pero solo me pregunto, como es que tantas bellezas que pueden ser hechas por manos del hombre pueden ser dedicados a dioses y sus seres divinos? es como dedicara canciones, templos de los mas bellos detalles a la mesa de mi cocina? los griegos hacian bellas estatuas y templos al igual que los babilonios, que arte tan desperdiciado en seres que nunca se lo agradecerian o sonreirian porque no tienen vida como a un tipo clavado en una letra T de madera y que murio como rebelde.

@mitzvatO Bach era un hombre muy religioso y creaba su música para la gloria de Dios, no son por tanto imagenes inapropiadas. Otra cosa es que a ti no agraden...

@Sword1479 Im pretty sure it is in Hallgrímskirkja, Reykjavík, Iceland. I've played that organ :)

Too often this work is played too fast, obscuring its superb craftsmanship. This performance of both Toccata and Fugue is perfectly calculated; every note tells.

Just one little niggle; surely I am not alone in playing the shake at every statement of the fugue subject!

Where is the first organ located?
